Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to Pictures Media Radio. Welcome to
Speaker 1: Policy and Rights Show, Gosh welcomer Policy Human Joys.
Speaker 2: Good morning everyone, and thank you for being here. As
Speaker 2: chair of the Arab Group for the month of May,
Speaker 2: I'll make a few opening remarks and then hand over
Speaker 2: to the Representative of Palestine, Ambassador Magidbamia. Following Wednesday's Security
Speaker 2: Council briefing on the situation in the Middle East, the
Speaker 2: Arab Group stands united in our determination to mobilize and
Speaker 2: put an end to the catastrophic war on Gaza. The
Speaker 2: Arab Group calls on the Security Council to take immediate
Speaker 2: action to bring an end to this horrific war and
Speaker 2: Israel's inhumane blockade on the Gaza Strip. Most urgently, we
Speaker 2: demand the lifting of all restrictions on humanitarian aid and
Speaker 2: its distribution. Based on humanitarian principles, the Council cannot stand
Speaker 2: by starvation is used as a weapon of war. The
Speaker 2: Arab Group categorically rejects Israel's proposed aid mechanism, which violates
Speaker 2: basic humanitarian principles and international law. At the same time,
Speaker 2: we reiterate our long standing demand for an immediate, unconditional
Speaker 2: and permanent ceasefire and the immedia an unconditional release of
Speaker 2: all hostages and the release of detainees. The Council must
Speaker 2: shoulder its responsibility and take decisive action to this end,
Speaker 2: including by adopting the draft resolution on Gaza that is
Speaker 2: currently being advanced by the E ten. As we look
Speaker 2: toward the upcoming Conference on the Two State Solution co
Speaker 2: chaired by Saudi Arabia and France, it is critical that
Speaker 2: member states take concrete actions to advance sustainable peace. Those
Speaker 2: countries that have recognized the State of Palestine and strongly
Speaker 2: encourage others to follow their example. Recognition is not just
Speaker 2: a symbolic gesture, It is a concrete step towards a
Speaker 2: just and lasting piece. The time for half measures has passed.
Speaker 2: The Security Council must fulfill its responsibility to maintain international
Speaker 2: peace and security and to protect civilians. Palestinian lives are
Speaker 2: not less valuable than any other lives, and the Council
Speaker 2: must act accordingly. I now turn to Ambassador Margit Bamia
Speaker 2: of the State of Palestine.
Speaker 3: Thank you, mister Cheff, thank you for being here, and
Speaker 3: allow me at the outset to thank the Arab Group
Speaker 3: for the relentless efforts over the last twenty months. I
Speaker 3: think at this point the situation does not need more description.
Speaker 3: It's enough to say, Guz for everybody to understand the
Speaker 3: human tragedy unfolding before our eyes, the constant bombardments against
Speaker 3: the population who has nowhere to flee, the dispersion, the displacement,
Speaker 3: the killing, the starvation and the killing of children, and
Speaker 3: the starving of children. So we need to know what
Speaker 3: we are talking about. There is international outrage, but our
Speaker 3: outrage is not good enough. It's not good enough for
Speaker 3: the people of Gaza to know that the world condemns
Speaker 3: this action, condemns these crimes, stands against them.
Speaker 4: We need actions.
Speaker 3: This is the responsibility of the Security Council, and we
Speaker 3: call on the Security Council to act as an Arab group.
Speaker 3: But this is also the responsibility of the other bodies
Speaker 3: of the United Nations. It's the responsibility also of a
Speaker 3: General Assembly, and it's the responsibility of all states to
Speaker 3: take the requisite actions, decisive actions that deter is then
Speaker 3: from continuing on this course. Our demands are clear, they
Speaker 3: are simple, they are aligned with international law and honestly,
Speaker 3: with the bare minimum of human decency.
Speaker 4: We demand an immediate cease fire.
Speaker 3: And here allow me to command Egypt and Kata, who
Speaker 3: are standing beside us, for all the efforts they have
Speaker 3: done in coordination with the US administration in trying to
Speaker 3: secure such a ceasefire. And we want to see in
Speaker 3: that context the implementation, the full implementation of Resolution twenty
Speaker 3: seven thirty five of this very Council, which foreseas and
Speaker 3: end to the bloodshed, release of hostages and prisoners, the
Speaker 3: massive entry of humanitarian aid, and the full withdrawal of
Speaker 3: Israeli forces from Gaza. And that should be the foundational
Speaker 3: rock on which we can build further and end to
Speaker 3: the assault against the Palestinian people throughout the occupied Palestine territory.
Speaker 3: What we've seen, these scenes of displacement and killing in
Speaker 3: the West Bank, the breach of the sacredness of our
Speaker 3: holy sites, all these attacks have to cease, and Israel
Speaker 3: needs to understand it is not true massacres that they
Speaker 3: will achieve anything. We are confronted with an attempt to
Speaker 3: liquidate the Palestinian question by force, to end the Palestinian
Speaker 3: people and to end the Palestinian cause, and that attempt will.
Speaker 4: Not be successful.
Speaker 3: But we also while Israel tries to Israeli government tries
Speaker 3: to portray the Palestinians as monsters, as human animals, which
Speaker 3: Natania who repeated again we cannot also expect Palestinians to
Speaker 3: be superheroes. That they need to resist to all of
Speaker 3: this on their own, that they need to figure out
Speaker 3: a way to survive, that they need to figure out.
Speaker 4: To stay in their land.
Speaker 3: Israel wants to convince them that if they want life,
Speaker 3: they can only find it away from their land. Our responsibility,
Speaker 3: our collective responsibility, is to help our people find life
Speaker 3: and liberty in their own homeland. Second clear demand is
Speaker 3: the entry of humanitarian aid. It's impossible that twenty months
Speaker 3: later and two months after a total blockade, we.
Speaker 4: Are still talking about this.
Speaker 3: But Israel, after having used all the weapons of war,
Speaker 3: now weaponized starvation, now is weaponizing the distribution of aid
Speaker 3: to fulfill its objectives of displacing the Palestinian people, of
Speaker 3: stealing their land. We have a U N plan that
Speaker 3: we stand behind that provides all the requirements to provide
Speaker 3: aid to the people and deliver it throughout the Gaza
Speaker 3: Slip while providing all the safeguards that are required. There
Speaker 3: is no explanation to why we would need a different mechanism,
Speaker 3: except that we want to prevent people throughout the Gaza
Speaker 3: slip from the receiving the aid they desperately need. These
Speaker 3: are our asks and they are very clear. Is actually

Speaker 6: Ambassadors call from US News and World Report. Can ambassador
Speaker 6: answer the question you mentioned the June conference? Is there
Speaker 6: what kind of concrete steps are you looking at? And
Speaker 6: to Ambassador al Tani, if you could talk about the
Speaker 6: ceasefire and what prospects there are for the current proposal.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Well, thank you.
Speaker 2: I we are following the lead of Saudi Arabia and
Speaker 2: France who have set a an aim of having concrete
Speaker 2: steps that can bring us closer to a lasting piece.
Speaker 2: And you know, obviously there are expectations of recognitions for
Speaker 2: the state of Palestine, but there are other plans that
Speaker 2: I won't speak to. And there are of course eight
Speaker 2: working groups that are working on these concrete steps.
Speaker 8: An ambassador, Tony.
Speaker 9: Yes, thank you, thank you so much. I mean, the
Speaker 9: state of Guitar, of course, is engaged intensively together with
Speaker 9: the United States in Egypt to stop the humilitarian catastrophe
Speaker 9: in Gaza and and this war. Negotiations are ongoing on
Speaker 9: the current proposal, and we are very determined. We are
Speaker 9: very determined since Catar is very determined to finding an
Speaker 9: end to the to this horrific situation in Gaza.
Speaker 10: Thank you, ambassadors.
Speaker 11: You have been appealing to the security concert or should
Speaker 11: go it's responsibility in time and a gain and a
Speaker 11: game and a game and.
Speaker 4: The security process, in money for resolutions.
Speaker 11: And to in this the GA and Iccha opinion.
Speaker 3: Yet it is already continued with its massive What is
Speaker 3: the art of the group and what tools you.
Speaker 11: Have you make this enemy or this uh uh a genocide.
Speaker 10: And agieve pay a price.
Speaker 4: So they were they sing no art countries because of
Speaker 4: it it's a relationships.
Speaker 3: No impressy was a closed no ambassad there was a
Speaker 3: So why has there any has to UH care for
Speaker 3: what the Arabs?
Speaker 4: You say?
Speaker 1: Thank you?
Speaker 5: UH.
Speaker 2: This is of course a responsibility of the international community,
Speaker 2: including the Security Council. The Arab Group will, as it
Speaker 2: has UH for the past uh more than six hundred days,
Speaker 2: been UH advancing and UH urging the Security Council to
Speaker 2: take action. Of course, the Security Council has adopted some resolutions,
Speaker 2: they haven't been implemented. But it does not mean that we,
Speaker 2: you know, stop and stand by and fold our hands.
Speaker 2: So we continue to do everything that we can to
Speaker 2: ensure that this catastrophic situation doesn't continue.
Speaker 11: I have two questions follow that. First, what kind of
Speaker 11: actions do you want you see the Security Council that
Speaker 11: you act. Is it would be sanctioned or army margos
Speaker 11: from the our group. Secondly, we know that there is
Speaker 11: a dropped resolution by Algury circulating. It's been quite a while.
Speaker 11: What stopped the Council from taking action of that dropped resolution?
Speaker 12: Thank you?
Speaker 3: What we cannot say, what we cannot accept is that
Speaker 3: somehow these institutions or states are powerless before these kind
Speaker 3: of actions and these kinds of crimes. There are tools
Speaker 3: to respond to these kind of situations. We are hearing
Speaker 3: leaders considering of taking a number of decisions in the
Speaker 3: right direction, and we salute these decisions, but we need
Speaker 3: to reach a decisive level. It is clear that Israel
Speaker 3: until now does not feel deterred. You would have seen
Speaker 3: it in their statements or in their actions had they
Speaker 3: been deterred. So what we need are the actions that
Speaker 3: would deter them, that would hold them accountable for the
Speaker 3: decisions they make, and that would make sure that if
Speaker 3: they continue on this course, they understand the consequences that
Speaker 3: they will have to face, and that will be the
Speaker 3: only way for them to finally stop what they are doing.
Speaker 4: We hear our role as an Arab group in New.
Speaker 3: York is to act with the Security Council, with the
Speaker 3: General Assembly, is convincing states, and there are other efforts
Speaker 3: in every capital going on and that will hopefully culminate
Speaker 3: in part in the June Conference and moving forward from them.
Speaker 4: But we asked about the June Conference.
Speaker 3: The issue of Gaza is a part of that discussion,
Speaker 3: including the Arab or Ice Plan that provides a real
Speaker 3: life alternative to the catastrophe that we see before our eyes.
Speaker 3: The issue of the legal obligations of third states is
Speaker 3: among the discussions. We are having the issue of a
Speaker 3: sovereign and unified state of Palestine. What kind of concrete
Speaker 3: commitments states are willing to take at this critical juncture.
Speaker 3: This is the life and future of the Palestinian people
Speaker 3: today and of our region tomorrow that is at play.
Speaker 3: So what we expect is we need to elevate our
Speaker 3: response since still now there is the international response has not.
Speaker 4: Allowed to stop Israel from the mad March.
Speaker 3: It is on and the jeopardizers that constitutes an existential
Speaker 3: threat for the Palestinian people, but it also jeopardizes the
Speaker 3: lives of hostages and prisoners. It jeopardizes the future of
Speaker 3: peace and security on our region. It jeopardizes everything that
Speaker 3: is fundamental in the rule of international law. So we
Speaker 3: will do our part here in New York in making
Speaker 3: sure that these bodies do not stay silent while a
Speaker 3: genocide is ongoing, while massacres are ongoing, while starvation is ongoing.
Speaker 3: So the draft resolution is being discussed as we currently speak.
Speaker 3: It is an ETN effort and you will see it
Speaker 3: once they complete the consultations they are doing and as
Speaker 3: we said, are Demand's eye formulated them very clearly, and
Speaker 3: they were mentioned by the chair of the other group
Speaker 3: regarding the ceasefire and ending the starvation policy that is
Speaker 3: at play, and we said also we will go further
Speaker 3: in the General Assembly.
Speaker 4: And states have tools that their disposal.
Speaker 3: They cannot also hide from their responsibilities in using these tools.
Speaker 3: And as I said, we see an important conversation going
Speaker 3: on that needs to yield concrete results and concrete decisions
Speaker 3: that are of a decise in nature.
Speaker 7: Arab groups reaction to the Israeli announcement that it plans
Speaker 7: to build twenty two settlements in the West Bank and
Speaker 7: what impact is this going to have on the conference
Speaker 7: on a two state solution and a two state solution itself.
Speaker 3: I think this is another decision that shows the rift
Speaker 3: between the Iseli government and the entire world. Settlements are illegal,
Speaker 3: they are condemned across the world, and again maybe the
Speaker 3: international response, certainly the international response needs to be much
Speaker 3: stronger to prevent such policies from moving forward. What we
Speaker 3: are in front of an Israeli government that has an
Speaker 3: extremist ideology, and I'll add to that the political ambitions
Speaker 3: of its prime ministers, very opportunistic ones that are yielding
Speaker 3: what we are seeing in Gaza, a full fledged assault
Speaker 3: against the Palestian people, but also what we are seeing
Speaker 3: in the West Bank in terms of settlements forcible displacement,
Speaker 3: and the will of Israel of this is Raidly government
Speaker 3: is very clearly.
Speaker 4: Expressed by its Prime minister.
Speaker 3: There is no Palestinian state, there is no Palestinian existence,
Speaker 3: and so the response needs to match the words and
Speaker 3: actions of this is Raeli government. And that's what we
Speaker 3: will be working on, whether immediately in the Security Council,
Speaker 3: the General Assembly and among states, or at the June
Speaker 3: conference where you will see the entire world come together.
Speaker 3: And I expect until now that given whether Israeli government is,
Speaker 3: it's not in agreement with any of the fundamental those
Speaker 3: of international law, all the fundamental premise.
Speaker 4: Of peace in our region.
Speaker 3: There are decisions of international legitimacy on which we all
Speaker 3: concur Arabs and non Arabs. The entire world has an
Speaker 3: international consensus on the two state solutions, on a Palestinian state,
Speaker 3: independent and viable, living side by side with Israeli. On
Speaker 3: the sixth June nineteen sixty seven borders on the fourth
Speaker 3: of June ninety sixty seven borders, with each Jousalem as
Speaker 3: its capital. The fundamental principles of peace, Israel is not
Speaker 3: willing even to come close to them. That doesn't mean
Speaker 3: the world needs to change and adapt to Israeli crimes
Speaker 3: and Israeli extremism ideology. It means the world needs to
Speaker 3: enact a change in Israel whereby such policies by such
Speaker 3: Israeli governments will come to an end.
Speaker 4: Humanitarian there was sorry.
Speaker 8: Andses she have in your national capacity. UI has a
Speaker 8: large footprint in Gaza and the humanitarian side and medical assistance.
Speaker 8: Where's the trickle of the couple of drops came through
Speaker 8: the aid that's been transferred. How is the situation for
Speaker 8: UA humanitarian mission operating in Gaza, both on medical supplies
Speaker 8: and on aid substances.
Speaker 2: Look, obviously I'm not here to speak about the UAE.
Speaker 2: We're here as representatives of the entire Arab group. But
Speaker 2: I will say I will say that of course the
Speaker 2: UAE uses all its channels in order to get as
Speaker 2: much humanitarian assistance into Gaza. We have been a huge
Speaker 2: provider of humanitarian assistance. We've been operating field hospitals, desalination plants,
Speaker 2: and you know, these efforts have never stopped and we
Speaker 2: will continue to work to scale up humanity and assistance
Speaker 2: in every way that we can and through every channel
Speaker 2: that we can.
Speaker 13: Oh.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, welcome back to policy and rights here
Speaker 1: in Depictions Media Radio. I'm your host, Michael Cloggs. Okay,
Speaker 1: you just heard from the United Nations stakeout press press
Speaker 1: from floor about the Arab Nations uniting over the ideals
Speaker 1: of Palestine, giving Palestine its sovereignty and humanitarian rights and
Speaker 1: humanitarian efforts. Because let's face it that after a time
Speaker 1: of destruction and everything it's, Palestine being rebuilt is a
Speaker 1: major issue. It's a major global issue. And ensuring that Palestine,
Speaker 1: the people of Palestine, get to return back to their
Speaker 1: home is also a major thing. And ensuring that Israel
Speaker 1: just doesn't have the right to expand itself into the
Speaker 1: into those areas of Gaza that were destroyed and as
Speaker 1: they rebuilt and limit the territory that the Palestinian people
Speaker 1: themselves have had over time is probably not the right
Speaker 1: way to go about things. All that will do is
Speaker 1: cause more tension and in lead to possibly more fighting.
Speaker 1: There has to be a better solution, a better way
Speaker 1: of getting at things so that both they it's rarely
Speaker 1: government and the Palestinian people feel that that they have
Speaker 1: gained some ground and and lost very little ground under
Speaker 1: the idea of peace. Okay, So moving forward, and since
Speaker 1: we're on the topic of which which is actually Palestinian rights,
Speaker 1: are also Indigenous rights. Uh, since we're on the topic
Speaker 1: of Indigenous rights, and uh, we're going to hear from
Speaker 1: today from the a f N, the Federation of of
Speaker 1: of First Nations as the National Chiefs speaks about the
Speaker 1: throne speech that happened here in Canada and some of
Speaker 1: the things that were said about reconciliation. But more importantly,
Speaker 1: there is out there which is called a Infrastructure Report,
Speaker 1: and an Infrastructure Report for First Nations talks about the
Speaker 1: shortfall of things that happen in First Nation territories on
Speaker 1: the reserves as they're called here in Canada, and how
Speaker 1: things like clean water, adequate housing, schools are not provided.
Speaker 1: But as it's going to be mentioned, in a first
Speaker 1: world country, why is there third world conditions held for
Speaker 1: the First Nations people? Why are the indigenous people kept
Speaker 1: in poverty, kept away from from schools that have all
Speaker 1: of the all of the the basic tools that other
Speaker 1: school other public schools are afforded. Why can't that be
Speaker 1: a standard and bring the First Nations and Indigenous schools
Speaker 1: to that standard, ensure first that they have met that
Speaker 1: those schools that meet that standard, make sure that Indigenous
Speaker 1: communities meet the standards of other neighborhoods across Canada, that
Speaker 1: there is adequate housing and housing that isn't that is
Speaker 1: more than just a falling down shack. I'm sorry. I
Speaker 1: don't mean to degrade the homes of people who were
Speaker 1: on this land before fourteen ninety two. I don't mean
Speaker 1: to degrade them, but they in you. When you listen
Speaker 1: to what the AFN chief has to say, you'll she's
Speaker 1: going to use a similar language.
Speaker 5: The why is it that.
Speaker 1: These homes, these people, these people who they say that
Speaker 1: they want to have reconciliation with, are left behind? Is
Speaker 1: there another agenda? And when we looked at look at
Speaker 1: what's happening in Palestine versus what's happening here, are there
Speaker 1: some similarities into what's going on? Is there a quieter
Speaker 1: war being raged against indigenous people around the world that
Speaker 1: we just necessarily can't or we're we're blind to be
Speaker 1: able to see. We're going to hear from Mark Kearney
Speaker 1: as he addresses the Federation of Municipalities and he talks
Speaker 1: about infrastructure. He talks about helping municipalities seriously, not just
Speaker 1: offering classes and talking big about giving help for infrastructure.
Speaker 1: He's talking about actually doing the work and helping municipalities
Speaker 1: build stronger and build better. Then that also should be
Speaker 1: afforded to the First Nations people. Everything he talks about
Speaker 1: for the for municipalities, for everyone who is not First
Speaker 1: Nations should be afforded to them. And then and then
Speaker 1: some under the idea of reconciliation. Marcarnie's gonna be talking
Speaker 1: about a couple of key issues here. He's talking about
Speaker 1: affordable housing. And I still say this that we need
Speaker 1: to define what affordable actually means. What is that price
Speaker 1: tag and how does that convert to the average income
Speaker 1: of the Canadian How does that actually work out? What
Speaker 1: is affordable because what's affordable in one area is not
Speaker 1: necessarily going to be affordable in other areas. A three
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars condo is not affordable to someone who
Speaker 1: lives out in the middle of Saskatchewan, and it's there's
Speaker 1: going to have to be some sliding scale kind of
Speaker 1: reality on that. How do we determine what is affordable
Speaker 1: and what isn't affordable? How do we determine that that
Speaker 1: we need to build a multi unit homes and given
Speaker 1: and give away along with those multi unit homes give
Speaker 1: away what amounts to be kind of a government subsidy
Speaker 1: to build multi union homes over building a single family home.
Speaker 1: How does that actually work out? What about the single
Speaker 1: family home? What about the Canadian dream of having your
Speaker 1: own home just for your family? What about that? Is
Speaker 1: that dream now going to change because they're because of
Speaker 1: this quote unquote housing crisis. Is that housing crisis truly
Speaker 1: trulli an issue or is it something that they have
Speaker 1: made up in order to give us smaller spaces to
Speaker 1: live in? Some interesting questions that maybe we should think
Speaker 1: about as we listen to what the AFN has to say,
Speaker 1: and as we listen to what Mark Karney has to
Speaker 1: say at as he speaks to the leadership of municipalities. Okay,
Speaker 1: there are some things that are unquestionably very much so
Speaker 1: true and very much so needed, And there are some
Speaker 1: infrastructure items. They ensure clean water, they ensure power, that
Speaker 1: ensure internet service, they ensure ensure that we can live
Speaker 1: our modern lives securely. And Mark Karney is actually going
Speaker 1: to get to those sort of things without rhetoric, without
Speaker 1: anything more than let's just get the job done. And
Speaker 1: hats off to Mark Karney for saying, let's just get
Speaker 1: the job done. Forget the rhetoric, forget the all the
Speaker 1: rest of it. Let's get the job done. And that
Speaker 1: is what Canada needs right now, is someone to actually
Speaker 1: stand up and say, let's get the job done. Hats
Speaker 1: off to the First Nations chiefs who want to get
Speaker 1: the job done, and let's untie their hands so that
Speaker 1: they can get the job done and get their people
Speaker 1: First Nations people on board with everything else. So that
Speaker 1: in the schools, instead of limiting education, that we open
Speaker 1: education doors. So that we understand the cultures of everyone
Speaker 1: who lives on this land right now, not just the
Speaker 1: European cultures that came across the ocean, but also the
Speaker 1: cultures of the people who were deep rooted in this
Speaker 1: community before first contact. That we all find a way
Speaker 1: to celebrate all of our cultures, celebrate all of the
Speaker 1: people and support everyone so that we can all have
Speaker 1: a prosperous country. So why don't we listen with that
Speaker 1: sort of understanding as we listen to the National Chief
Speaker 1: of the AFN as she speaks about First Nations issues
Speaker 1: and issues around getting our federal government to do just
Speaker 1: simply what they say they're going to do in helping
Speaker 1: people live better.
Speaker 14: I'm going to ask Joe and Rose Anderson to just
Speaker 14: open us up in a prayer as we start to
Speaker 14: stay and we start new government and our relationship of
Speaker 14: course with all of you, Thank you, Thank you help me.
Speaker 10: Which we just senamamazing the walk home and English k
Speaker 10: did I make them one.
Speaker 5: Can be with me?
Speaker 14: Which well, thank you. I want to recognize our elders
Speaker 14: and our knowledge keepers, our people that help us pray.
Speaker 14: Nice to see you all this morning. I want to
Speaker 14: recognize Joan Rose Anderson for the prayers this morning and
Speaker 14: for being available today. I also want to acknowledge that
Speaker 14: we are on the Anishnabi Algonquin territory here in Ottawa,
Speaker 14: beautiful Ottawa, and thank you to all of the media
Speaker 14: for attending. We are pleased to be here to release
Speaker 14: the af n's third report regarding Canada's First Nation's infrastructure gap.
Speaker 14: As you know, the Assembly of First Nations has released
Speaker 14: a series of reports over the past last year with
Speaker 14: the federal government and the Conference Board of Canada to
Speaker 14: highlight the First Nation's infrastructure gap as a nation building project.
Speaker 14: Our first report last April captured the scale of investments
Speaker 14: required to close the gap by twenty thirty. With the
Speaker 14: Government of Canada. We concluded that was three hundred and
Speaker 14: fifty billion dollars. In our November twenty twenty four report,
Speaker 14: the Conference Board estimate estimated the economic benefits to Canada
Speaker 14: of closing the infrastructure gap over seven years at six
Speaker 14: hundred and thirty five billion dollars and three hundred and
Speaker 14: thirty thousand jobs across this beautiful country. And that's for
Speaker 14: all Canadians, including First Nations. The third report, which we
Speaker 14: released today, concludes that massive economic benefits are the tipping
Speaker 14: of the iceberg when it comes to the socioeconomic benefits
Speaker 14: for First Nations, particularly related to housing, education, and water. Sadly,
Speaker 14: the First Nation's infrastructure gap has perpetuated and deep rooted
Speaker 14: inequality in our country. This disparity has led to poorer
Speaker 14: health outcomes, limited education, opportunities and much less prosperity compared
Speaker 14: with other Canadians. So the benefit of addressing this discriminatory
Speaker 14: infrastructure gap cannot be overstated. Beyond moral obligations and economic returns,
Speaker 14: these investments will provide safe and healthy living conditions, improve
Speaker 14: education outcomes, strengthen mental health, stabilize families, and empower First
Speaker 14: Nations to be all that we can be, among other things.
Speaker 14: The Conference Board report highlights housing as a top priority.
Speaker 14: Poor housing conditions post serious health risks to First Nations.
Speaker 14: According to the twenty twenty one Census, First Nations are
Speaker 14: four times more likely to live in crowded housing than
Speaker 14: other Canadians and six times more likely to live in
Speaker 14: a home that needs major repairs. Crowded and unsafe housing
Speaker 14: creates negative outcomes beyond poor physical health, family violence, substance abuse,
Speaker 14: barriers to education, and the loss of our culture. So
Speaker 14: we welcome the Prime Minister Prime Minister Carne's commitment to
Speaker 14: get Canada back into the business of building houses. But
Speaker 14: to be successful, they must reflect First Nations perspectives from
Speaker 14: the start. That includes the new the new initiatives that
Speaker 14: were referred to yesterday in the speech from the throne,
Speaker 14: the Build Canada Homes initiative, the twenty five billion dollars
Speaker 14: for prefabricated homes, and the ten billion dollars of low
Speaker 14: cost financing for home construction. First Nations need to be
Speaker 14: at the table as these are developed over the coming weeks,
Speaker 14: and the benefits related to job training and construction must
Speaker 14: flow to First Nations people and businesses. In addition to housing,
Speaker 14: education infrastructure is another key element of this report that
Speaker 14: we would like to see and that we would like
Speaker 14: to touch on briefly here today. The late Justice and
Speaker 14: former Senator Murray Sinclair often said education got us into
Speaker 14: this mess, and education will get us out. So if
Speaker 14: we know this in a beautiful, rich country like Canada, Canada,
Speaker 14: why are half of our First Nation schools either overcrowded
Speaker 14: or in need of major additions or in need of
Speaker 14: immediate replacement. The Conference Board makes it clear that the
Speaker 14: benefits of investing thirteen billion dollars to close this education
Speaker 14: gap go beyond the twenty two billion dollars of financial
Speaker 14: return for the economy with safe, modern schools fully connected
Speaker 14: to the Internet. As if we're having this talk in
Speaker 14: twenty twenty five, First Nations can leverage our own resources,
Speaker 14: create self sustaining economies and real hope for a more
Speaker 14: prosperous future. Thinking ahead of this upcoming parliamentary session, we
Speaker 14: will conclude by welcoming the conference boards focus on clean
Speaker 14: drinking water. As we did with Senator Prosper last week,
Speaker 14: we call on the new government to introduce a First
Speaker 14: Nation's Clean Water Act into the new session of Parliament
Speaker 14: as the four first order of business. Inadequate access to
Speaker 14: housing and sanitation systems have been long standing issues. Prolonged
Speaker 14: advisories eroad trust and often lead to First Nations seeking
Speaker 14: unsafe alternatives even after boil water advisories are lifted. It
Speaker 14: is a shameful situation for a country as rich as
Speaker 14: our beautiful country Canada. Alongside clean water legislation, we call
Speaker 14: on Canada and the Province is to make the investments
Speaker 14: required to close the First Nation's water infrastructure gap. In
Speaker 14: addition to a dollar seventy nine return on every dollar
Speaker 14: that's invested, Canada will benefit from increased productivity and reduce
Speaker 14: rates of illnesses and disease in First Nations communities. We
Speaker 14: lift up chiefs and tribal council leaders struggling with these
Speaker 14: unfair infrastructure gaps and for all that they are doing
Speaker 14: each and every day to help our people in these circumstances.
Speaker 14: During the recent election, on behalf of chiefs across the country,
Speaker 14: the Assembly of First Nations published a priorities document titled
Speaker 14: Prosperity for All. Like the report we are releasing today,
Speaker 14: Prosperity for All was intended to be a roadmap to
Speaker 14: reconciliation for the next government. It includes a strong focus
Speaker 14: on economic reconciliation and closing the First Nation's infrastructure gap
Speaker 14: to drive Canada's collective prosperity for generations to come. These
Speaker 14: investments were needed before Trump to two point zero, and
Speaker 14: they are even more important now. The truth is that
Speaker 14: over five hundred and sixty billion dollars of projects are
Speaker 14: forecast to be launched on First Nations lands over the
Speaker 14: next decade. The potential benefit is in the trillions of dollars. Together,
Speaker 14: they represent a cornerstone of Canada's future economic growth, but
Speaker 14: they won't advance without First Nations support. If the government's
Speaker 14: version for First Nation's infrastructure is focused exclusively on building
Speaker 14: access to natural resources on First Nations territories, they have
Speaker 14: another thing coming. We can't talk about natural resource development
Speaker 14: and expanding the Port of Churchill, but let's get the
Speaker 14: basics right first. We can talk about it, but we
Speaker 14: have to get those basics. So let's start with clean water,
Speaker 14: quality housing and modern schools for our kids. We welcome
Speaker 14: the new government's interest in identifying large scale infrastructure projects
Speaker 14: to move ahead. But that is why, with the new
Speaker 14: parliament and economic followed from the US tariffs, we propose
Speaker 14: that the Prime Minister and his cabinet start with closing
Speaker 14: the first nation's infrastructure gap in this country. With the
Speaker 14: commitments and yesterday's speech from the Throne related to reconciliation
Speaker 14: and nation building, the sixteen findings in this report are very,
Speaker 14: very timely. Combined, they provide a blueprint for the mother
Speaker 14: of all Canadian infrastructure projects looking ahead to the next
Speaker 14: federal budget. We will send copies of this report to
Speaker 14: the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance, other new ministers
Speaker 14: and members of Parliament from all parties. We look forward
Speaker 14: to engaging with them in the days ahead to keep
Speaker 14: this country's journey to reconciliation moving forward in a good way.
Speaker 14: Later this year, we will commemorate the tenth anniversary of
Speaker 14: the historic Truth and Reconciliation Commissions calls to action. Yesterday
Speaker 14: the King said, we need it to honor the Truth
Speaker 14: and reconciliation in both words. Indeed, what better way for
Speaker 14: Canada to reafform support for reconciliation than making the First
Speaker 14: Nation's infrastructure gap the country's top national infrastructure priority. So
Speaker 14: let's honor the calls to action, Let's beat Trump and
Speaker 14: get on with building this beautiful nation. Let's get on
Speaker 14: with building the high quality homes that First Nations need, schools,
Speaker 14: water system, power supplies, all seasoned roads and internet connections
Speaker 14: for our kids that have been promised to First Nations
Speaker 14: for generation. So thank you so very much, Maywich. Hi Karen.
Speaker 13: Karent I say APTM, first question. I mean, one of
Speaker 13: the things that the new Prime Minister has talked about
Speaker 13: is speeding up resource approvals, speeding up environmental approvals, and
Speaker 13: this would definitely help First Nations economies for First Nations
Speaker 13: who want to develop the car on resource extraction. But
Speaker 13: looking at the website, there's on free prior and form consent.
Speaker 13: They're still using the core definition that I guess First
Speaker 13: Nations can withhold consent, but they still can go ahead
Speaker 13: withholding consent doesn't stop development, what's the point. So I'm
Speaker 13: wondering if you know there's been any indication from the
Speaker 13: Prime Minister that will be done on defining free prior
Speaker 13: to conform informed consent as was promised when they passed
Speaker 13: the even drip bill.
Speaker 14: First of all, I want to uplift the chiefs in
Speaker 14: Alberta and BC in Ontario and everybody else that's supporting them.
Speaker 14: Very united. You see First Nations united across the country
Speaker 14: when our treaty and inherent rights are being trampled on.
Speaker 14: But I also just want to say that that'll be
Speaker 14: a point of discussion with my with my meeting with
Speaker 14: the Prime Minister and the days ahead, and you know
Speaker 14: we'll be back. We'll come back to you with that.
Speaker 14: But certainly, absolutely there's a there's a big question on
Speaker 14: that that we do have to get through with this
Speaker 14: government and if they want to do things right, like
Speaker 14: I said, start with the basics. Make sure that our
Speaker 14: kids have access to internet, two schools, to homes, to
Speaker 14: access to food, and poverty shouldn't be administered. And so
Speaker 14: I know that we have a lot of work to do,
Speaker 14: but I look forward to meeting with the Prime Minister,
Speaker 14: and that will be one of the first orders of business.
Speaker 13: Cool you'd be asking about free prior and FORMUA. Yes.
Speaker 11: And then just a second question.
Speaker 13: With a delay in the federal budget coming out, I'm
Speaker 13: just wondering about the finances of the Assembly of First
Speaker 13: Nations itself. I don't know if you've been able to
Speaker 13: negotiate funding for this fiscal or if you're riding off
Speaker 13: of what are like, has that been delayed at all?
Speaker 10: Have you got money?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 14: The Assembly of First Nations is you know, we had
Speaker 14: a surplus again this year. I think that everything's well
Speaker 14: at the Assembly of First Nations. Things can always always
Speaker 14: be better, like every organization, but I think we've got
Speaker 14: a strong team. I want to commend our new CEO,
Speaker 14: Andrew Bison, who's doing a phenomenal job making sure that
Speaker 14: things are moving slowly. I mean, we always want to
Speaker 14: make sure that the regions. We've got regional chiefs across
Speaker 14: this country that we always seem to have problems with
Speaker 14: every year that they don't put enough investments into our
Speaker 14: regional offices. And you know, I'd like to see the
Speaker 14: federal government help our regional chiefs across the country to
Speaker 14: make sure that they're well, you know that they're they're
Speaker 14: doing okay and right now you know the AFN is
Speaker 14: holding them up. But of course we do need support
Speaker 14: for our regional chiefs and our regional offices.
Speaker 13: I'm just not sure. Did the delay and budget cause
Speaker 13: any delay in negotiating. No, you've been able to negotiate
Speaker 13: all your funding agreements to.
Speaker 1: Go to see.
Speaker 14: Yeah, we're okay. Yeah, thank you Hill.
Speaker 10: Let's see us bev with the Canadian press.
Speaker 12: The Premister Garney promised to work on child Weilba reforms
Speaker 12: last week, told the Canadian Human Rights Tribing all the
Speaker 12: lawyers for Canada that they shouldn't have to consult in
Speaker 12: death in a we are trying.
Speaker 10: To discharge their duty to consult. You had all asked
Speaker 10: for water legislation to be introduced within one hundred days.
Speaker 10: I asked Indigenous Services that that was the plan. Did
Speaker 10: not get a yes or no answer. Are you seeing
Speaker 10: a mark shift from the Trudeau era? And what are
Speaker 10: you doing to advocate for communities needs when this seems
Speaker 10: to be a different environment.
Speaker 14: Well, first of all, I want to thank the throne
Speaker 14: speech yesterday. I think it was it was a chapter
Speaker 14: changing when we had free, prior and informed consent for
Speaker 14: the first time in the history of this country have
Speaker 14: that mentioned in a throne speech, and there was a
Speaker 14: lot of reference to Indigenous people in there. I want
Speaker 14: to take that as a positive and give them the
Speaker 14: benefit of the doubt. I know sometimes I've been through transition.
Speaker 14: I know sometimes during transition periods things have been chaotic,
Speaker 14: and they have been I mean, I went to the
Speaker 14: you know, I've done a few things with them during
Speaker 14: right before the election that was really difficult without a
Speaker 14: government there. So I'm glad that they're there, and I
Speaker 14: hope that they come together quickly and there's always room
Speaker 14: for improvement, and we'll be there to tell them and
Speaker 14: remind them when they're shorting First nations in any way.
Speaker 14: Is there a change. I'm sure there's obviously going to
Speaker 14: be a change, I think from one government to the next.
Speaker 14: But I think, you know, I want to I've spent
Speaker 14: some time with Prime Minister Carney last weekend all weekend
Speaker 14: on on weekend, and you know, we had deep discussions
Speaker 14: on many of these issues, and we do want to
Speaker 14: make sure that water legislation is that those discussions on
Speaker 14: water that we begin to work on those very quickly.
Speaker 14: I also want to make sure you know if there's
Speaker 14: something as a mother and a woman every time that
Speaker 14: we have babies, and no other group in the world
Speaker 14: is legislated the way First Nations are. We're the only
Speaker 14: group around the entire world that is legislated. And every
Speaker 14: time I have a baby that the government wants to
Speaker 14: know if my child's eligible to be First Nation, and
Speaker 14: I think that that's something that we have. There are
Speaker 14: uncomfortable con versations that need to be had. But the
Speaker 14: second generation, the government keeps losing in court because they
Speaker 14: keep discriminating against us. We have a baby and they
Speaker 14: ask who's the father? Very intrusive, Right is your baby
Speaker 14: first Nation? Very intrusive? And I think that's another discussion
Speaker 14: that I want to have as a mom and a
Speaker 14: because you're seeing it right. They come at First Nation
Speaker 14: so hard, and I think that we have to have
Speaker 14: that uncomfortable conversation with Prime Minister Carney. Of course, there's
Speaker 14: always there's policing, and you're right, the unfinished business of
Speaker 14: child welfare, so lots of work to.
Speaker 1: Do on The.
Speaker 10: Chiefs are in town.
Speaker 13: This week.
Speaker 10: He disappointed that they weren't invited to the throne speech
Speaker 10: and didn't get an audience with the King. But beyond that,
Speaker 10: the Globe and Mail reported this morning that Ottawa gave
Speaker 10: the First Nation's Council seven days to meet with them
Speaker 10: or could or submit their thoughts on proposed legislation around
Speaker 10: projects identified to be in the national interest. Chiefs are
Speaker 10: bringing up I don't know more in Ontario. Does this
Speaker 10: concern you?
Speaker 14: Well, I'm proud of them. I mean, you have the
Speaker 14: provincial governments trampling all over treaty and inherent rights across
Speaker 14: this country, from Alberta to Ontario to b Se. Many
Speaker 14: other chiefs are standing up saying how can we help.
Speaker 14: I don't blame them. They're frustrated and they're being disrespected.
Speaker 14: And first, if this wouldn't happen, if the way that
Speaker 14: this country operates, you know, the provinces go and talk,
Speaker 14: they take the Prime Minister and they go and talk.
Speaker 14: It's happening again next week. They always leave out First
Speaker 14: Nations people, They always leave out Indigenous people and Indigenous voices,
Speaker 14: and so, like I said, if they you know, we
Speaker 14: want to move forward to in this country. First Nations
Speaker 14: want to move forward. But you can't do that without
Speaker 14: having those voices at the table and thinking we know
Speaker 14: what's best. That hasn't worked for one hundred and fifty years,
Speaker 14: it's not going to work for the next one hundred
Speaker 14: and fifty years. So let's let's get down to business.
Speaker 14: Let's asked this country, are you really ready and are
Speaker 14: you really ready to make space at your table to
Speaker 14: make sure that the rights holders are at that table.
Speaker 15: A gym, I mean, I'd never get a standing ovation.
Speaker 15: That's fantastic. Just soak it in, mister Sutcliffe. MESSI Mark.
Speaker 15: You know this. Mark Sutcliffe, a man for whom life
Speaker 15: is both a marathon and a sprint forty eight marathons
Speaker 15: as of last weekend, running the Ottawa Marathon again. I
Speaker 15: tell you the one time I ran the Ottawa Marathon,
Speaker 15: I was still on an IV drip on the friday.
Speaker 5: Mark's bouncing around building a better city.
Speaker 15: I would like to and I want to underscore something
Speaker 15: where Mark started. You know, I am the proud member
Speaker 15: of Parliament for an Nepean and open come on, let's
Speaker 15: come on everybody else. No, but and it's and it's
Speaker 15: one of our strengths of our system, of our parliamentary system,
Speaker 15: is that all three hundred and forty three Members of
Speaker 15: Parliament have the honor of serving their constituencies. In other words,
Speaker 15: they are grounded in their communities. And if you're grounded
Speaker 15: in your community, the issues that you are facing, the
Speaker 15: issues that you tackle every day, are front and center.
Speaker 15: And so it should be front and center in all
Speaker 15: of our minds, from the newly minted MPs to the
Speaker 15: Prime Minister to the senators. What can we do to
Speaker 15: build stronger cities, stronger communities, safer communities.
Speaker 5: And I want to say a few words on that
Speaker 5: today and then we'll have a Q and A.
Speaker 15: I do want to thank Rebecca and Carol for the
Speaker 15: kind invitation today, particularly Rebecca because she's.
Speaker 5: Going to ask me questions in a moment.
Speaker 15: And I would like to thank each and every one
Speaker 15: of the municipal leaders here today for the work that
Speaker 15: you are doing to build stronger communities across our great country.
Speaker 15: Our collaboration, collaboration between the federal government and municipalities, all municipalities,
Speaker 15: is more important than ever. As we are at a
Speaker 15: hinge moment in Canada's history. It is a more dangerous
Speaker 15: and divided world. Unfortunately, geopolitical risks are rising and they
Speaker 15: are threatening our sovereignty. The global trading system, which has
Speaker 15: helped power Canada's prosperity for decades, is undergoing the biggest
Speaker 15: transformation since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and closer
Speaker 15: to home, our long standing weak productivity is beginning to
Speaker 15: strain government finances. It's certainly making life less affordable for
Speaker 15: Canadian families, and it's threatening to undermine the vital social programs,
Speaker 15: including childcare, on which Canadians rely. It's very important, it's
Speaker 15: all They're welcome here at the FAAM is good.
Speaker 5: Canada's.
Speaker 15: Canada's new government will address these challenges head on, head
Speaker 15: on with focus, determination and innovation, and that innovation goes
Speaker 15: straight to our partnership because much of that response to
Speaker 15: those global challenges, the response to global challenges begins right
Speaker 15: here at home, in our municipalities, where together we can
Speaker 15: build a stronger, safer Canada.

Speaker 15: John, your leadership and fundamentally, our partnership will be vital
Speaker 15: to turning those opportunities into realities in Canada's new government
Speaker 15: will be a reliable partner to Canada's municipalities on a wide.
Speaker 5: Range of issues, a wide range of issues. But I'm
Speaker 5: going to.
Speaker 15: Okay, I want to focus my brief remarks. I've been
Speaker 15: told to be brief. It's a bit late for that,
Speaker 15: but I want to focus on three specifics, starting with housing,
Speaker 15: and in response to the housing crisis that we all
Speaker 15: know has been eroding Canadian standards of living, the federal
Speaker 15: government is acting to improve affordability in the short, medium
Speaker 15: and long term. The new vague given amount in Canada

Speaker 15: meto diconesca.
Speaker 5: With Saint can do la bani. But that's short term.
Speaker 5: What are we doing in the medium long term?
Speaker 15: We will create Build Canada Homes, a lean, mission driven
Speaker 15: organization that will accelerate the development of deeply affordable housing
Speaker 15: projects that will catalyze an entirely new housing industry based
Speaker 15: on Canadian technology.
Speaker 5: Canadian workers and Canadian Lumber.
Speaker 15: And will provide twenty five billion dollars in financing for
Speaker 15: affordable home builders. In parallel, we will work above and
Speaker 15: beyond that. We will work with you to slash development
Speaker 15: charges in half in half for all multi unit housing
Speaker 15: over the next five years, alongside the provinces and territories
Speaker 15: well making crucial point well making municipalities whole through federal
Speaker 15: investments in water, power lines, and wastewater.
Speaker 5: We're not no, these things cost money. We're not going
Speaker 5: to give lectures.
Speaker 15: We're going to give help and assistance so we can
Speaker 15: all move forward. And in parallel, we're going to take
Speaker 15: a pragmatic approach by doubling down on what's already working.
Speaker 15: I know from meeting with mayors across the country in
Speaker 15: recent months that many of you have already signed on.
Speaker 15: I know I didn't meet with all the mayors we've
Speaker 15: signed on, but many of you signed on to the
Speaker 15: Housing Accelerator Fund, which is unlocking tens of thousands of
Speaker 15: new homes across the countries. So because we listen, we
Speaker 15: will reinforce the Housing Accelerator Fund, and we're taking these
Speaker 15: measures and more at scale, at scale, because we recognize
Speaker 15: that business as usual just won't work. That young Canadians
Speaker 15: can't wait any longer to have the same opportunities to
Speaker 15: own a home that previous generations such as mine enjoyed. Now,
Speaker 15: those opportunities for young Canadians must include great careers in
Speaker 15: the strongest economy in the.
Speaker 5: And that's why that's the key. That's the key to affordability.
Speaker 15: We can do supply, but we also need the great
Speaker 15: careers and the incomes that come from that. So in
Speaker 15: face of foreign threats, no prize for guessing. You know,
Speaker 15: I'm saying, I'm trying to learn some diplomacy from the King.
Speaker 15: The face of foreign threats, a core priority of this
Speaker 15: government is to build projects of national significance. Projects that
Speaker 15: reinforce our country's resilience, Projects that connect Canada, project.
Speaker 5: Projects that partner.
Speaker 15: With Indigenous peoples, that diversify our trading partners and create.
Speaker 5: A more sustainable future for all. De Plage comes.
